Panoz DeltaWing Racing will start seventh on the grid in tomorrow’s Continental Tire Road Race Showcase at Road America. Despite an untimely red flag, Sean Rayhall put in a great lap of 1:57.227 to secure the team’s starting position.

Practice went well with the DeltaWing coupe gaining pace in each session. Over the 55 practice laps the team worked on the set-up to boost performance and speed, and both Rayhall and Katherine Legge ran quicker times, improving the coupe’s fastest lap time by over two and a half seconds.

Road America has historically been a good track for the DeltaWing with its long straights and fast corners. The team look forward to what should be an exciting race tomorrow, the Continental Tire Road Race Showcase and the eighth round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Tomorrow’s race begins at 3:05pm CT with coverage starting on FOX Sports 1 from 3pm CT and IMSA.com for those watching outside of the U.S.

Big thanks to the team and Dr Panoz for all the hard work.”
